font-feature-settingsCSS property sets low-level OpenType feature tags for a font. When possible, usefont-variantinstead. -
font-language-override:
The
font-language-overrideCSS property sets which language-specific glyphs are displayed. -
font-synthesis:
The
font-synthesisCSS shorthand property disables all font synthesis except the given kinds. To disable a specific kind of font synthesis, instead use the longhand properties such asfont-synthesis-styleandfont-synthesis-weight. -
font-variant-alternates:
The
